I wonder how long it is before we hear anything about a series 5 Mega. Please, oh, please don't be a Jabba the Hutt repaint...(or a rancor that pukes round skulls)...

You never know, we just might see a young Obi Wan. It would be neat to have an Obi Wan/ Darth Maul Starter Set. Maybe throw in a Queen Amidala/ Destroyer Droid as well.
Remember also that the Marvel now has 3 Starter Sets (Hero's, Origins, GR) so maybe we could see 2 sets for this one.
As for Yoda, I remember reading about Webhead saying that he really enjoyed working on the newer Yoda. Surely, he wasn't saying that just making him look like a ghost (for whatever reasons) was a neat experience. I believe we haven't seen the last of the old wise Yoda. Atleast I am hoping.

I would have liked to see a saber-less OT Yoda who relied on the force as he does in ESB - similar to the treatment the Emperor is getting. I'd also love to see an Amidala in her maroon and gold outfit from the end of TPM, preferrably one who doesn't have the "monkey-man" face the Leia figures always seem to get. A starter set would be a good place for them...

|sf>Yes! Gamorrean Guard! If this is the correct order of the figures, it also looks as if he'll be number 6 (ie. a common!). I'm also happy to see Lando (Yes!), R5-D4 (Yes! Yes!), and the return of the Battle Droid. It finally looks as if more of the common guys will be useful. Seeing Qui-Gon Jinn also adds a smile to my face as I've seen so many people hoping for him. Furthermore, I find the Yoda interesting as he's standing on a log (ala Wicket). Face it, these are cool!

S5 looks to be everything I wanted and more, Qui-Gon, Gamorean Guard, Battle Droid, for god's sakes theres freaking Ghost Yoda and a third Jawa unit!!! Hopefully the new Battle Droid will work well with my existing ones, as he's thew only new Droid Army guy since... forever. Qui-Gon's mold seemed a bit weird at first but I'll get used to it, and this is by far my favorite set ever just because I don't have to worry about getting another Vader (once I had enough for two 500 point teams I didn't care how awesome he was I wanted someone else). I love the New Hope Luke, Hoth Troopers, Emporer, Lando, and I so called that Pondo Baba would be a 10pt Bounty Hunter when Joe first revealed him on eBay. With Qui-Gon being the first forty point striker Jedi he's got to have some awesome power going on for him... ohh and Joe... when are these marvelous beasts coming out (Granted Marvel hasn't even hit the stores in my area yet but still...)

These look great! I was hoping for some new figures and Lando & Qui-Gon are nice additions!

wow these look really awesome! I am way excited about all the bounty hunters ( finally a striker ) I have to admit I am WAY curious as to what strikeback will be. The marvel attacktix boosters and starters came out in a store here today. The only characters I really like from the marvel world are spiderman and the hulk, so I don't see myself purchasing any from the marvel series.

Yeah, Marvel boosters have hit the shelves out here, but now I'm saving my money for SW S5, even if it's months away. Funny thing - the Spider Man origins starters are already in the clearance aisle, but the TF and SW S4 starters are all still in the regular toy aisle here. They massively downsized the toy section at our local Wal-Mart, so getting my hands on SW tix is going to be harder than before when they come out...darn it all...

I am EXTREMELY pleased and excited about this list. It looks like Hasbro took our wish list to heart and have pretty much given us the figures that many of us wanted most.
I also wonder if this could be one of the last series for Star Wars since it appears to be a round out list to fill out the favorites and figures previously missed in the other series.

My local wal-mart is making it bigger This has been the same as what I am seeing! All the Walmarts in our area have moved a lot of stuff from Christmas to Clearance Isles and have tons of expanded space with many empty shelves for all the new stuff they are planning on putting out when it arrives.
